Abstract

The purpose of this study is to examine the influence of negative affect on the detection of deception and how certainty would mediate the relationship. In the experiment, participants were instructed to recall and write about anger and sad episodes. In the neutral conditions, participants were asked to write the mundane events of the previous day. After affect induction, participants viewed deceptive or truthful interviews films. They made judgments about the targets’ truthfulness. As predicted, anger individuals achieved lower accuracy rates than sad individuals. Moreover, mediation analysis demonstrated that anger individuals would have comparatively lower accuracy rates on judgments because they had higher certainty about their judgments. Sad individuals, in contrast, had less confidence when making judgments so they led to systematic processing and achieved higher accuracy rates. These results show that there were the difference of judgmental accuracy rates in the condition of two negative affects and certainty mediated the relationship between negative affect and the detection of deception.. Theoretical and practical implications of these results are discussed.
